The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved form oftoilet compact; to provide a toilet compact of cheap construction whichmay be distributed free of charge as an advertising novelty; to providea compact of this kind which is intended for use only once and then tobe discarded; to provide a toilet compact having an improved form andarrangement of pads adapted to be coated or impregnated with powder androuge respectively; to provide improved means for detachably securingthe pads together face to face so that one forms a shield 1 for theother; to provide an improved form 5 of protecting shield for the toppad; to provide a compact of this kind having an improved form of pocketfor storing another kind of cosmetic, such as lip rouge in the pasteform; to provide a cheap toilet compact of this kind which is sanitary.

An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown in theaccompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a top plan view of one of theimproved compacts.

Thecommon type of toilet compact here- 5 tofore in use included a casingwhich housed separate cakes of powder, rouge and lip paste,

Fig. 9 is a section taken on the line 99 together with applicator pufi'sor pads. Such compacts were intended for repeated use and were usuallyexpensive. The casing was generally constructed so as to be adapted tobe refilled with new cakes of cosmetics.

The improved compact herein shown is constructed so as to be adapted foruse only once before being discarded. It is of very inexpensiveconstruction, so that it may be used as a practical advertising noveltyand distributed without charge if desired. For instance, the compactsmay bear the trademark of a cosmetic manufacturer and millions of suchcompacts could be distributed to hotels, public buildings, wash roomsand other public places without charge for the purpose of advertisingthe manufacturers product.

In the construction shown, the improved compact comprises a pair ofapplicator pads 1 and 2 arranged face to face between a top shield 3 anda back pad or base sheet 4. The applicator pads 1 and 2 may be made ofabsorbent paper, or various other suitable substances which are adaptedto be coated or impregnated with the cosmetic. In the form shown, thecentral portion of the upper surface of the pad 1 is coated with a facerouge and the central portion of the upper surface of the pad 2 iscoated with a face powder. Both of these pads may bear a suitableadvertisement, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

The pads 1 and 2 are detachably secured together by a suitable adhesive5 applied to a border 6 surrounding the power coated portion of the pad2, so as to permit the pad 1 to be readily stripped from the pad 2without disturbing the powder. A tab 7 is formed on the periphery of thepad 1 to form a finger grip for use in stripping the pad 1 from the pad2.

The shield 3 overlies the pad 1 so as to form a protective covering forthe face rouge. This shield is preferably transparent so as not to hidethe advertisement appearing on the pad 1. If desired an advertisementmay be printed on the shield also. The shield 3 is detachably secured tothe pad 1 by suitable adhesive 8 applied to a border 9 surroundin therouge coated portion of the pad 1. -A ta 10 is formed on the edge of theshield, diametrically opposite the tab 7 to form a finger grip for usein stripping the shield from the pad 1.

The base sheet or back pad 4 may be made of paper or any other suitablematerial and its rim is secured to the bottom face of the powder pad 2so that these two disks 2 and 4 define a central pocket for housing apiece of lip rouge paste 11 which is disposed in any suitable mannerbetween the back pad 4 and the powder pad 2, such as for example on theinner face of the back pad 4 (see Fig. 9) A portion of the base sheet 4is cut out to form a depending flap 12, which provides a handle. Inorder to cause the handle to assume the desired osition, as illustratedin Figs. and 6, it is rst bent backwardly upon the base sheet as shownby one of the dotted outlines in Fig. 7.

If desired, a large number of these compacts may be detachably securedtogether in pack form, as illustrated in Fig. 12. To form the pack, thetabs 10 are first folded inwardly as shown in Fig. 1. After the compactshave been arranged face to face, an adhesive substance 13 may be appliedto the edges to detachably secure them together.

A suitable magazine for use in dispensing these improved compacts isillustrated in Fig. 10. The magazine comprises a tubular shell 14adapted to receive a vertical stack of compacts. The upper end of themaga zine has a threaded cap 15 and its lower end has an inwardlyprojecting flange 16 for supporting the stack. Formed in the rear wallof the magazine, is a vertical channel 17 for receiving the tabs 7 tosecure the compacts against turning, so that the handle flap 12 of thelowermost compact is always in proper position to be grasped forremoving the compact from the magazine. A follower block 18 may beplaced on top of the stack.

To use one of the improved compacts, the handle flap 12 is held in onehand while the other hand grips the tab 10 for stripping the shield 3from the pad 1. After the rouge pad 1 has been used, it is stripped fromthe pad 2 and discarded. While the rouge pad and powder pad are beingused, the compact is held by means of the flap 12. After the powder padhas been used, the flap 12 is pulled laterally toward its hinged side totear away the central portion of the back pad or base sheet 4 to permitaccess to the lip rouge paste Wh'lCh is preferably secured to the underside of the central portion of the back pad 4 which has been torn away.

From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that these improvedcompacts are sanitary, convenient to handle and very inexpensive tomanufacture.

Although but one specific embodiment of this nvention is herein shownand described, detalls thereof may be modified without departing fromthe claims.

I claim:

1. A pack of the class described com using a removable front protectivesh1e d, a removable rouge impregnated ad covered by said shield, aremovable pow er impre nated pad covered by the rouge pad, and a ack padprovided on its inner face with lip paste and covered by the powder pad.
